The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan! Chapter 376: Not Believing
At this mont in the office, Julian Hawthorne was reviewing a docunt when Shaun Jones said, "President Hawthorne, there’s sothing I need to discuss with you."
Julian glanced at him, noticing Shaun’s peculiar expression, and responded with a grunt.
Shaun said, "Young Master Xavier has arrived, and he brought a woman with him."
Julian frowned; Austin Xavier arrived but did not co to his office. He could only guess where he had gone.
He suddenly stood up, his face a bit somber.
They tangled themselves into the office, the shalessness of the unfaithful man was simply beyond asure.
Shaun quickly stopped him, "President Hawthorne, there’s another matter!"
Compared to Austin Xavier stirring up trouble at Paige Sterling’s place, clearly understanding what is going on with Rose Payne’s pregnancy was more critical.
Although he absolutely trusted President Hawthorne’s character, what if sothing unexpected happened?
So the imdiate priority now is to figure out whose child Rose Payne is carrying.
"President Hawthorne, the woman Young Master Xavier brought is pregnant."
Why would Austin Xavier’s woman being pregnant have anything to do with him?
Under Julian Hawthorne’s gaze, Shaun Jones said with difficulty, "Young Master Xavier claims the child in that woman’s belly is yours."
Julian Hawthorne, "..."
Shaun Jones, "That woman is outside the door now, President Hawthorne, would you like to see her?"
Julian Hawthorne let out a cold laugh, Austin Xavier truly exhausted every conceivable ans to provoke him and Paige Sterling.
This kind of thing, he doesn’t need to prove anything about himself.
Right now, he just wanted to go find Paige Sterling and get Austin Xavier far away.
Shaun Jones grabbed hold of him, "President Hawthorne, don’t rush. If you go looking for President Sterling now, Young Master Xavier might have already said whatever needs to be said. If President Sterling is in a fit of anger, finding her now would play right into Young Master Xavier’s hands, wouldn’t it?"
Julian Hawthorne coldly said, "She won’t believe it."
Julian had enough confidence in this.
Shaun Jones said, "Of course President Sterling will believe you, but since Young Master Xavier dares to say such words, surely it isn’t groundless talk. What if he really employed so trick, making Rose Payne that woman pregnant with your child, then without being prepared, how will you explain to President Sterling?"
Austin Xavier doesn’t play by common rules; his actions are erratic, capable of doing anything.
In Shaun Jones’ view, Julian Hawthorne is just caught up in the matter of Paige Sterling and didn’t consider these things montarily.
Julian Hawthorne glanced at Shaun Jones; indeed, Austin Xavier is cunning, and this ti, daring to utter such words, surely has a plan.
His expression turned cold, "Bring that woman in."
Rose Payne was brought in by Shaun Jones. She contained her inner excitent, looking timidly at the handso man behind the desk.
This man was in no way inferior to Austin Xavier.
She, Rose Payne, what worth or ability did she have to carry this man’s offspring? She was determined to deliver this child safely and not disappoint this man.
Rose Payne took a deep breath, about to speak, but first heard Julian Hawthorne’s indifferent voice.
"You’re pregnant? With my child?"
Rose Payne nodded shyly, "Mr. Hawthorne, I was surprised too. These days I’ve been pondering whether to keep this child. After all, I’m not married yet, and if I give birth to the child, I’ll have to endure so criticism. But during the days of hesitation, I feel this child grows gradually in my belly, and I’m suddenly reluctant. It’s a life after all; how can I deprive it of the right to co into this world? So I decided to keep it. As the child’s father, you certainly have the right to know, hence why I ca to find you today. I rely wish to inform you of its existence with no other purpose. I hope you won’t misunderstand, and please don’t tell Miss Sterling about this, as she is hostile towards . She could send to jail, and if she finds out I have your child, she certainly wouldn’t tolerate ..."
She rattled on, not only explaining the causes and consequences but also clarifying she was not a person greedy for vanity. She wouldn’t demand anything from Julian Hawthorne because of the child; she was rely respecting his right to be inford as the father.
She had shown such understanding; would Julian Hawthorne grasp her intentions?
And through her, wouldn’t Julian Hawthorne sense Paige Sterling’s malice?
However, after she finished speaking, Julian Hawthorne hadn’t uttered a word.
Rose Payne looked at him, feeling that his deanor seed ominous.
Unable to contain the panic in her heart, she said, "Mr. Hawthorne, do you not believe ?"
She placed a docunt on the desk, "Mr. Hawthorne, this is the prenatal check-up I had at the hospital, take a look."
Julian Hawthorne did not look, his gaze did not even fall upon the docunt, "I’ve never touched you. Tell , how did the child in your belly co about?"
That question hit the crux of the matter.
Rose Payne could not respond montarily, artificial insemination, ntioning it was awkward, and although Austin Xavier had orchestrated it, if she said it, would Julian Hawthorne distrust her intentions?
"It’s President Hawthorne you forgot, we actually had..."
She blushed, seemingly struggling to speak, "That night, President Hawthorne, you were drunk, we, we... the child was probably conceived then..."
She said, "Mr. Hawthorne, if you don’t believe , you can conduct an amniocentesis."
Her eyes reddened, "I too am a girl who maintains her purity. That night such an accident happened, I’ve been scared; scared my parents would ask. Now pregnant, I’m even more afraid they’ll find out, being very traditional they not only won’t allow to give birth to this child, but they’ll also kick out. I’m really helpless, I could only co to find you, Mr. Hawthorne..."
The more she spoke, the more she felt aggrieved beyond asure, "I was frad into jail while pregnant, fortunately, Young Master Xavier saved and allowed to et Mr. Hawthorne, to share this good news, Mr. Hawthorne, you’re about to beco a father. I know you’ll surely be happy, as long as you let deliver this child, you can arrange whatever you like for ..."
It implied that if Julian Hawthorne couldn’t give her a status because of concerns about Paige Sterling, it didn’t matter; she could wait for Julian Hawthorne to discard Paige Sterling, the venomous woman.
For Julian Hawthorne, she’s willing to endure silently.
Julian Hawthorne, however, didn’t even display the slightest change in facial expression; his gaze remained cold.
Similarly, he said nothing and this silence was like a razor to one’s heart, making Rose Payne increasingly distressed.
What did Julian Hawthorne an?
Why didn’t he seem joyful upon learning he’s going to be a father?
Or perhaps, was Julian Hawthorne planning not to keep the child in her belly?
If that was truly the case, wouldn’t she be even more pitiful than the heroines in novels who were deeply hurt by domineering tyrants and ultimately fled far away?
